Story of every Indian fan right now…
This test match says one thing. @klrahul11 and @ajinkyarahane88 should have batted for long and hold thr innings. No maturity shown, in a crucial situation getting out so cheap sums up everything. One man cannot carry an entire team. @BCCI #ENGvIND

Virat ‘Warrior’ Kohli
Loved the headline by @ESPNcricinfo

‘Virat Kohli refuses to lose the Edgbaston Test’
Very apt... #EngvInd
India need to address this issue ASAP
Why India gets in a position to win..and then lost? Is that the temperament or what? #ENGvIND #Asktheexpert @bhogleharsha
